Beginner art-canvas painting here. But lots of experience with repurposing items, furniture, paint techniques. With masking tutorial I thought of a couple tricks of the trade that I learned when masking that might help everyone: 1) After laying down tape, rub your nail, or a credit card along all edges of the tape. This pushes it down tight, and seals adhesive on the edge better. Not as much bleeding of paint underneath the tape. If the surface underneath is textured, it will leak under, no matter what. Some brush a small amount of clear varnish/gel medium (matte is probably best) over the edges first and let dry. If that leaks under, it is clear, and seals the tape. Let dry. Then follow with your 1-2 coats of color. Extra step, but crisp lines in the end. 2) Taking tape off. Yes, I take off when just barely dry to the touch. Sometimes if you wait too long, and have several coats on top before you pull it off, there is a flexible rubbery property to acrylic/latex paint. As you pull it off, the tape pulls off the edges in sheets. If you wait too long, and paint is dry, score the edge of the tape with a straight edge and utility knife before pulling tape off. Then remove tape. Also, I found that you get a cleaner edge if once you get a bit of tape loose, you pull tape back over itself, in a tight "V" direction. This pulling only disengages the tape at the point of the "V" and you get no sides pulled up with the tape. Again, a cleaner edge, no tugging of paint along the sides, just that single point, etc. These may not pertain as much to canvas and art paper painting, but artists who may occasionally paint on wood, or do wall murals, this definitely applies. The clear coat on the tape before painting is an extra step, but so worth it for great results. On canvas, paper, wood, or walls. Good luck everyone!
This is terrific beginner video. You are a talented teacher. Thanks for really breaking the techniques down and talking about to explore them with different brushes etc.
This chart is very helpful. I am new to painting and this has given me inspiration to create a piece I am working on for an exhibition featuring art by mixed ability artists.
Thanks for another great video. Can you maybe do a video showing some different brushes and the techniques they are used for? It would certainly help this Old Geezer....I like your style of teachin' . Please keep up the beginner info too. I've never painted before and I got my gear together and I'm gonna paint something. You have inspired me to paint. I sincerely Thank You.
Thanks so much! Check this out: th-cam.com/video/3daCD6INXRs/w-d-xo.html I just made a video on paintbrushes yesterday!! Please keep ideas coming for future videos.... what else do you want to learn??
Thank you for the beginner videos, I was able to try most of these techniques today. Still feel fumbly with some of my brushes and I hope it doesn't last too long. I have very little experience with brushwork since I mostly work with pencils and pastels. I'll check out the other video that details different brushes next. 💓
Thanks so much for this. I've been watching painting videos on Instagram and wanted to give it a try for (yet another) hobby. Thank you for this great intro video. ❤️
I would recommend experimenting with that to see whether it suits your purpose. I do wonder whether sculpting paste will have the adhesive quality you might need to have it work like modeling paste. But as I said, experiment and have fun!
My son reads your teaching and feels that he has learned a lot of useful skills. He is also very fond of drawing. Can you give me some good suggestions if I have time, thank you very much for your advice
Your video is so informative and so helpful with the different techniques to use. I will be making the information sheet to keep on hand. I see you used Watercolour paper, is sketch paper OK. Thanks so much stay safe and stay blessed. You have a new subscriber.🌸👍🌺
You can use sketch paper as well, but I think with acrylic - the thicker the paper, the better. But acrylic can even hold up on printer paper, you may find the paper bends, folds or wrinkles a bit if it is thinner. Hope this helps!!
You really should advise that wet on wet one-it isn't archival if you use too much water. Over time, it will not last, no matter how good the paint. The paint needs its binder.
Too much water isn't good, you're right. I know Liquitex has their suggestions on their website as to how much water you can add before switching to a medium instead, as you mentioned the paint needs enough binder.
@@JenniferFunnellArt Hello, I would first like to say that I really enjoyed your video...it was very helpful. I really like your teaching style, so I subscribed to your channel and will be returning to learn as much from you as I can! I am a novice for sure...I took one painting class about 10 years ago and have only dabbled here and there over the years. One thing I remember...is my teacher telling me to seal my paintings with a spray sealant to protect and preserve them better. If you did an extremely watered down technique, to mimic watercolors...would spraying a sealant over it when you're done, help it to be archival or would it still degrade over time? I really like the look of this technique, but I would be disappointed if a painting was ruined down the line because of degradation.
Where can I get stiffer brushes as a beginner think should start with cheaper but not sure where to go & looking on Amazon gets very confusing on brushes as like to see them?

As self taught artist, it is nice to know the names of the actions I instinctively use to create my images.

TY I loved your tutorial, so easy to follow! I enjoy painting in acrylic and your tutorials are going to help kick my art up a notch😄
Thank you!! I'm so glad to hear that.
How do you use modeling paste is really awesome! It is my favorite painting technique. Cool tipps - i love it!
Loved it! I was told I could use hair conditioner as médium for acrilics
thank u . really very genuine .
Thanks so much for this. I've been watching painting videos on Instagram and wanted to give it a try for (yet another) hobby. Thank you for this great intro video. ❤️
Thanks for the breakdown.

I have never tried to make homemade modeling paste..... but now I want to!!
@@JenniferFunnellArt 👍😊

真是太及时了，谢谢分享。
Wow very helpful 👍🏻👍🏻 thanks a lot ☺️
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you! Like your explanation!
You are such a help thank you very much.xx
Great
Would quick dry modeling clay work instead of modeling paste ?
❣
I would recommend experimenting with that to see whether it suits your purpose. I do wonder whether sculpting paste will have the adhesive quality you might need to have it work like modeling paste. But as I said, experiment and have fun!
My son reads your teaching and feels that he has learned a lot of useful skills. He is also very fond of drawing. Can you give me some good suggestions if I have time, thank you very much for your advice
Look for some future videos! Is your son looking for more painting tutorials or drawing tutorials?
@@JenniferFunnellArt He likes all of the painting and drawing, and spend 2 hours every day.

Hi, i want to ask. What type of paper that you used? thank you
Hello! I am using watercolor paper, specifically Canson: www.amazon.com/Canson-Watercolor-Textured-Charcoal-100510941/dp/B004M59O4C
Where can I get stiffer brushes as a beginner think should start with cheaper but not sure where to go & looking on Amazon gets very confusing on brushes as like to see them?
Sometimes brushes from hardware stores work really well for this!
The dull pencil idea made my teeth itch
good
